ANTIQUES ROADSHOW: Biloxi, Miss. - Hour 3

A guest at ANTIQUES ROADSHOW in Biloxi, Mississippi, with four 1827 portraits of her ancestors painted by the mysterious figure known as “The Guilford Limner.” Appraiser Ken Farmer deems the beautifully articulated watercolors part of a very small collection of distinctive portraits ascribed to the North Carolina-based artist who never signed his work. These paintings maintain Limner’s distinctive style of beautifully articulated faces and oversized eyes and are valued conservatively at $60,000.
